Hi Guys

Our family is looking to move to Thailand next year,

I’m 47 and have my own business here in the UK which I can run online.

My partner is 45 and is a carer? Is there any English run care homes in Thailand she could work in?

We have a 15 year old who wants to do hairdressing at college over there.

We also have a 13 year old daughter is there any schools you can recommend ?

We are looking for somewhere quiet but not to far away from a city/town is their any area you can suggest.

Also looking for 6/7 bedroom villa with pool and air con to rent long term that doesn’t come with added tourist tax if you could point us in the right direction all help and advise would be appreciated 🙂

Hi all,

I'm looking into relocating from Australia with my partner and 3 children.

My partner has a business and can work from anywhere. 2 of my children would go to an international school, my littlest is 1 yo.

We're not married but have been together for 17 years.

My partner is thinking, eventually, he would like to hire employees so I'm assuming that a business visa and work permit would be more suitable. Everything I've researched, our children would be able to apply for visas under his business visa but I would not unless we get married, which is fine, it's a piece of paper.

We're not in a hurry and want to ensure everything is done properly. I would love some advice on experiences or contacts for some solid info/assistance.

Appreciate any help. 😊

Yeah, I know that the law requiring taxes for staying over 180 days has been in effect since last year. But honestly, I've never seen anyone around me actually paying taxes while staying here all year. Have you guys ever seen anyone who paid? 😂😂

So, do parents of international school students also have to pay taxes while living here? If that’s the case, who would even send their kids to school here? 🤣🤣

Hi everyone! I need advice can someone help me answer this please. If I’m planning to move to Thailand in June with my 2 small children should I obtain a visa now or once I arrive? And what visa do my kids need?

I would like to teach English but I don’t have a bachelor degree only a TEFL Certificate. I’m not sure if I should go for a work visa or Educational visa. 🤷🏽‍♀️

And lastly, should I book a one way ticket if I plan to stay long term.✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Thanks in advance!!!

Hello everyone.I am wanting to obtain residency for myself and my 7 year old son.I was told you can get residency if your child goes to school.Does it have to be an International school or would an alternative school work? Like Elate in Hua Hin?

*Admin please delete if not allowed!!

I know my question is not visa related, but it seems a lot of families are in this group.

Can someone please tell me what secondary/international schools are like in Thailand please? Most of all, what is the situation with bullying and school policies in regards to that? Are the local kids friendly and accepting? Do they make friends with foreign kids easily, etc…? If you can share your family/kids experience in Thailand I’d greatly appreciate it 🙏
